Fish Stick Burger

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Take the fish sticks out of the freezer — they can be cooked without thawing. Wash and dry the lettuce, separate into individual leaves. Prepare the pan.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Dice the pickled cucumbers into small cubes, chop the dill.

3. 3

   Step 3

   

   In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, pickled cucumbers, and dill. Season with salt if needed and mix. Let the sauce rest for 5–10 minutes.

4. 4

   Step 4

   

   Fry the fish sticks in a heated pan with a little vegetable oil. Cook in batches, otherwise they will start to stew instead of fry, and the crust will become soft.

   TipCook the sticks on a well-heated pan and don't flip them too often — let a stable crust form.

   Step 5

   

   Cut the buns in half and lightly toast the cut sides in a dry pan or toaster.

6. 6

   Step 6

   

   Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each bun. On top of the cheese, place 1–2 fresh lettuce leaves. Then spread 1–2 tbsp of tartar sauce.

7. 7

   Step 7

   

   Place the fish sticks on the sauce — 2–3 pieces per burger. You can add a little more sauce on top of the fish sticks. Cover with the second half of the bun and press down lightly.

   TipFor easier eating, you can pierce each burger with a long skewer to hold the layers together.

   Step 8

   

   Serve the burgers immediately after cooking, before the fish stick crust gets soggy from the sauce.
